By the way, ATI broke OpenGL in Catalyst 7.12. I have used Radeon X850 PE AGP around this time and have remembered this bug. And yes, it wasn't fixed (like the substract blending etc). Try atioglxx.dll from the 7.11 version.

IMHO the linear method of fogging was supported from the D3D birth (DX2), exponential methods are supported since DX6 …

BAT can't use wrapper. The glide code is in the *.exe (static linking). You must use a real hardware to play this game. Or emulate this hardware. P.S. Try Ykhwong's DOSBox or similar (with glide=emu support).

Jane's F-15 and WinXPSP3. The default MSS32.DLL is bugged -- no sound in the main menu after a short time. 5.x versions fix this bug but freeze in the "campaign" menu (on full screen movies). Looks like the 4.0b version fixes both bugs.
